The handle features richly grained brown wood scales, offering a warm, natural feel with the durability to withstand years of use. Stainless steel bolsters add strength and balance, while the brass pins give it a traditional look with secure, long-lasting construction. The lanyard hole at the rear allows for quick attachment to gear or for threading a paracord lanyard for added retention and style.

At 4.25 inches closed, this knife fits comfortably in a pocket or pack, offering compact portability without sacrificing cutting power. It weighs 4.8 ounces—substantial enough for tough tasks, yet light enough for comfortable carry on the job or outdoors.
